    Sweet Corn Casserole - a classic corn pudding made from scratch, with a cheesy topping. No cornbread mix needed.

    Serve this corn casserole as a side dish on your holiday dinner, along with Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes, Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Oven-Roasted Turkey Breast.

    Cheesy corn casserole is a staple side dish for the holidays, here in the Midwest. This recipe is one of the easiest side dish casserole recipes made with my Homemade Cornbread Mix, which requires only 4 ingredients. No need for store-bought mix! This corn casserole can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge. Top with cheese right after baking for a gooey melty topping!

    Ingredients

    • whole kernel corn (1 can)
    • creamed corn (1 can)
    • sour cream
    • butter
    • eggs
    • cheddar cheese
    • flour
    • cornmeal
    • baking powder
    • salt
    • sugar

    Step by step instructions

    If you are making your own cornbread mix, whisk the ingredients together and set aside so it's ready to go. Combine all remaining ingredients in a bowl, then bake in a casserole dish. This is really that easy!

    Step 1: mix corn

    Place corn in mixing bowl and stir with sour cream.

    Step 2: butter and cornbread mix

    Add melted butter and cornbread mix and stir in well.

    Step 3: bake

    Pour the batter into a baking dish and bake. Once done, top with cheese and cover for a few minutes to let it melt. You can also sprinkle the cheese before baking but it will set and won't be as gooey and melty.

    Can I use frozen corn to make this dish?

    You can certainly use frozen corn to make this dish, but you will have to thaw it out first. Otherwise, the corn will release too much moisture during baking and the dish won't bake properly.

    Can I use fresh corn off the cob to make this dish?

    Yes! Fresh corn in place of canned whole kernel corn is fantastic here! It will have more bit to it and more flavor.

    Storing and freezing

    You can easily make this dish up to 2 days ahead of time. I suggest topping it with cheese after reheating.

    You can bake this corn casserole, cool completely and freeze in a freezer-safe container or a bag. It will keep just fine for up to 4 months. To reheat, thaw it out in the fridge, then let it sit in room temperature while the oven is preheating. Bake, then top with cheese.

    If you are making this corn casserole ahead of time or have any leftovers, place them in a covered container or cover the baking dish and store it in a fridge.

      It's in the oven. I added more sugar, even though I am not usually a sugar person. Needed it. I used plain yogurt. Yikes. I didn't have sour cream, and I saw a recipe that replaced sour cream with yogurt. I tasted and needed more sugar because of yogurt?? I also added one more egg for fat, to compensate for fat-free yogurt and might make it a bit more cake-like. (? Unknowns.) Cross your fingers with me. Tasted great as batter! Looks great in the pan, in the oven.

        Thank you for giving my recipe a try! Plain yogurt works just fine in place of sour cream. It does have a little more sour flavor so the additional sugar can help. Looking forward to your results! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

      If I omit the cheese, do you still think it will turn out ok? Also, what if I use only 6 or 7 tblsps of butter? I'm trying to make it healthier... Thanks!

        I recommend the same temperature and time as mentioned in the recipe. Keep an eye on it after half of the time. Let me know how it goes!

      I am not a sour cream fan. Could I use cereal or whipping cream instead?

      Thank you for sharing this recipe. Where I come from we do not have Jiffy mix or even a corn bread mix. It was really nice to see how it was made from scratch. Delicious.

      I just made this and it was a big hit with my husband and kids. We're vegetarians, so I served it as a main course with veggies on the side.
      I made a few changes because looking at the Nutrition Facts initially made me not want to make it (high Calories, fat and sat fat). I used 3 Tbsp of butter instead of 8, fat free Greek yogurt instead of sour cream, and 1/3 cup of grated cheddar instead of a cup. The yogurt added about 20 g of protein and eliminated about 50 calories per serving and some fat. Likewise, cutting out 5 Tbsp of butter removed almost 100 calories and several g of fat per serving. These changes also reduce the cholesterol. Since there was less moisture from butter, I bumped up the yogurt to 1 1/4 cup.
      Anyway, it was delicious and I will definitely be making it again. Next time, I might use 3-4 egg whites instead of 2 whole eggs. The flavor of the corn is strong enough and tasty enough that a lower fat recipe is very flavorful.

        Im a vegetarian house also. 4 or 5 generations. I forget. I just made recipe using Didi suggestions but left cheese out. Cheese really not needed for it to be Awesome. Corn can stand alone as it does most of the time. I cut back on egg yokes and used 3 egg whites. Thank you for recipe and thank Didi for alterations.

      This is delicious, especially made with home grown corn. None of that hard kerneled canned stuff for us. Yummy!
